Joel Embiid is Adapting to Doc Rivers’ System Perfectly

There has been constant chatter about Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid not being a good fit together on the floor for the Sixers. This season, though, those rumors have been shut down. The two budding stars are understanding their roles. Joel is limiting his three point attempts, which last season seemed to be almost every time he touched the ball. He’s playing within the offense and letting the points come to him. The best part, though, is that Embiid can take over when he realizes he has to, which exactly happened last night against the Wizards.
